The Sweet Art of Techno-Intimidation

When your computer is running too slow/locking up/being stupid, you point at it and tell it - in a stern voice - what you want it to do.

Now at first it may not seem like anything is going to happen. You may even feel silly, like "I sure hope nobody sees me doing this. I probably look like a buffoon!"

But fear not, because you have already begun the process of becoming your computer's master.

And if you continue in your technological stare down, the computer will give in. Before you know it you will just be able to think what you want your computer to do and (after you've clicked the appropriate icon and waited long enough and maybe had an infuriatingly long discussion with tech support) it will HAPPEN!

But seriously, if your computer is slow and locking up, pay a visit to http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/ and run their online scanner to see if your computer is infected with something. After that, run your security updates. It's literally been years since my computer locked up, and that's normal.

About Me

Life was never meant to be this way! The discouragement, disappointment, loneliness of our world are symptoms of a broken system. 180 is committed to sharing the truth that there is another way - another world that is possible. This blog is just one way that we are trying to be a relevant voice of truth amid a chorus of confusion.
